Well Lobstah and I have been working on my car since Tuedsay trying to get the new built block in the car. We just got done a few hours ago. Car is running like a champ.
We hit a few snags on the way. One of the studs for the exhaust on the heads got siezed up. We were able to drill the stud then we used a EZ Out which turned out not to be to easy. She sheared off flush into the head. We got lucky my uncle has a MAC set of Ti nitride cobolt grinder bits. I used my dremal and we were able to clean up the hold then throw in a helcoil into the head and fixed it. Next the trann and engine were being a pain to mate up.
But all in all she is good. Putting the car back togeather we found that my drivers side Group N engine mount decided to off it self at some point. So thanks to Jcovey (which he doesn't know about) he had a new set waiting to go into his car so I (borrowed) his drivers side. Yes Jcovey I will get you a new one.
You can really feel the diffrence with that
Then the Kart boy front/rear shifter bushings went in and nice what a diffrence.
I am really happy with it all. No leaks or nothing.
